Chapter 609
Dai Junzhu and Wang Yifei's Cold Treatment Approach
In May 2006, Wang Junan finally brought a girlfriend home.
Liu Xiaoli was overjoyed.
He was born in January 1984 and is now 22 years old, which is well within the legal marriage age.
Liu Xiaoli had been urging him for the past two years, but he had always brushed her off with vague excuses.
There's no way to get married this year; I've already reached the legal marriage age.
Moreover, Huang Huiru became pregnant with her third child last month. Originally, Wang Junhong and Huang Huiru wanted to have an abortion, but after Liu Xiaoli found out, she insisted on giving birth to the child.
Even if I don't become a university professor, it's fine; I can take over the Want Want Group instead.
This incident caused quite a stir, and Wang Duoyu was also called out to act as a referee.
Wang Junhong and his wife wanted to have an abortion, but Liu Xiaoli's opinion was to give birth, since it wasn't like they couldn't afford the fine.
She ultimately gave birth and did not have an abortion.
Since Wang Junhong, the eldest brother, is about to have his third child, Liu Xiaoli naturally urges Wang Junan to hurry up and get married and have children.
After all, Wang Junhong is not her biological son, even though she treats him as her own.
Forced into a corner, Wang Jun'an had no choice but to seriously go on blind dates, and in the end, he found a researcher from his lab.
Those who can become researchers in his lab are not ordinary people; at the very least, they are geniuses.
"Child, what's your name? Where are you from? How many people are in your family?"
In the living room, Liu Xiaoli pulled aside a girl with an oval face and asked her about her well-being.
The girl seemed quite quiet and spoke softly.
The girl, who is usually very poised and confident, was quite shy and nervous at this moment.
Although Liu Xiaoli wasn't a man-eating tiger, she gave the girl a strange sense of tension.
"Mom, please don't do this. You're throwing out so many questions at once, how am I supposed to know which one to answer?"
Wang Junan said helplessly.
On the side, Wang Yifei, Bai Doufu, and Wang Ruoxi all watched with smiles, their eyes full of curiosity.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Wang family will be welcoming another new member.
The girl in front of them was liked not only by Wang Jun'an, but also by Liu Xiaoli and the others.
As the saying goes, "Marry a virtuous wife, and take a beautiful concubine."
The girl Wang Junan brought back easily passed the appearance test; what remained were her character, personality, and family background.
"Auntie, my name is Dai Junzhu, and I'm from Changzhou."
Dai Junzhu spoke softly, but Wang Duoyu suddenly raised an eyebrow.
Changzhou?
That's just Jiangsu in bulk.
They are indeed very united, but they are also quite disunited.
To describe them as sabotaging each other is an understatement; in reality, they are sworn enemies, and neither is willing to submit to the other.
Liu Xiaoli pressed on, but Wang Duoyu interrupted her, saying:
"Let's eat first, and chat while we eat."
"Hmph!" Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him, then pulled Dai Junzhu to the dining table to sit down and chat.
After the meal, Liu Xiaoli made up her mind and decided on this daughter-in-law.
From every perspective, Dai Junzhu is impeccable.
Because Dai Junzhu's father was Dai Yishan, a professor at Tongji University, Wang Duoyu had never heard of this name, but Wang Junhong had.
Compared to Wang Duoyu's position, he is more focused on his research projects and doesn't travel around the country giving lectures.
On the contrary, Wang Junhong travels to universities all over the country more frequently.
Tongji University is not ranked very high in China, but it is among the top five in Shanghai.
As the second largest economy in China, Shanghai has a large number of universities.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Fudan University, East China Normal University, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, ShanghaiTech University, East China University of Science and Technology, and Shanghai University are all excellent institutions of higher learning.
Tongji University's ability to consistently rank among the top five is truly impressive, and it would also place it among the top twenty nationwide.
In comparison, Harbin Institute of Technology stands out in Harbin, while other universities such as Harbin Engineering University, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin Medical University, and Northeast Forestry University are only average.
Dai Junzhu's mother, Han Suyin, however, worked within the system, holding a position at the Changzhou Women's Federation, and at a fairly high rank.
In addition, Dai Junzhu was a member of the Harbin Institute of Technology's gifted youth program. She just received her doctoral degree last year and was then recruited by Wang Junan to his laboratory.
Therefore, compared to Huang Huiru, Dai Junzhu's overall level is more average, and Dai Junzhu herself is more capable.
To put it simply, whether in terms of appearance, overall ability, or personality, Dai Junzhu is indeed better than Huang Huiru.
But this is marriage, so compatibility is the most important thing; everything else is secondary.
After all, no matter what the situation is in Dai Junzhu's family, it can't compare to the Wang family.
This is because Wang Duoyu is the number one scientist in mainland China and the emperor of the global mathematics community. Whether it is his academic status or his own strength, he is a unique figure in the world.
It's incomparable.
However, on the other hand, Wang Junhong's academic achievements are indeed much greater than Wang Junan's.
The latter is also someone who has a balanced development in both academics and business, so he and Dai Junzhu are indeed a good match.
After dinner, the family sat down in the living room to chat again.
Wang Duoyu spoke up:
"Xiao Dai, if you have no issues with my second son and can get along well, then take him to meet your parents in a while. Our two families can then arrange a time to meet and discuss your marriage."
Upon hearing this, Dai Junzhu's pretty face turned even redder.
She nervously replied, but her voice was so soft that only Wang Jun'an, who was sitting next to her, could hear her clearly.
And so the matter was settled.
Two days later, Wang Yifei left Harbin and went to Hollywood. The movie she had previously filmed was released, and at the same time, "Pirates of the Caribbean" had finished pre-production, and the actors were about to start filming.
Los Angeles, Chinese Theatre Compound.
The global premiere of "Fast & Furious 3" will be held here.
Wang Yifei also walked the red carpet, but compared to the other female stars who were vying for attention, her outfit was considered too "outdated".
Despite fans' repeated criticisms of her fashion sense and their advice to listen to others, she continues to do as she pleases.
It's rare for her to attend an event, but she surprisingly wore a rather conservative cheongsam.
While other people's cheongsams have slits up to their waists, hers had slits up to her knees.
And she even had a shawl on her shoulders; apart from her neck, everything below her neck was covered by her clothes.
That's too conservative.
In the movie, she at least dressed relatively revealingly, exuding chivalry and being very down-to-earth.
As a result, when he attended the premiere, he wasn't down-to-earth, but rather incredibly unsophisticated.
After walking the red carpet, Wang Yifei went inside and sat down to wait. She then took out her phone.
Soon after, she saw some netizens criticizing her new look.
So outdated!
Conservative! Country bumpkin!
She was so angry that she wanted to run up the internet cable and punch the other person twice.
unacceptable!
"You bumpkin, you have no sense of appreciation at all. Do you have to expose more skin to be considered fashionable?
Wang Yifei gritted her teeth, then quickly consoled herself:
"My brother's Want Want Group has so much wealth, and I myself am a billionaire. My style is fashionable. Pshaw, calling me old-fashioned."
She was very confident.
However, being judged like this by others, it's inevitable to have a few complaints.
After the premiere, she received a video call from her sister in the early hours of the next day.
After the call connected, I saw my family.
"Sis, I told you that outfit you wore yesterday was no good. Netizens were all criticizing your fashion sense, but you just wouldn't believe me. If you had worn the outfit I suggested, everyone would definitely have given you a thumbs up."
Bai Doufu's words about the loss made Wang Yifei's face darken.
"You're making fun of me first thing in the morning? Just you wait, I'll deal with you when we get home!"
"Hehe, you can't hit me, hehe~"
Just then, Liu Xiaoli spoke up:
"Alright, Bai Doufu, aren't you going to start studying? You only have two months until the high school entrance exam. If you don't get the top score, what will you be crying about?"
"Hmph, I'm sure I'll get the top score in high school, and then I'll choose the opposite subject to hers!"
Gong Yao was her lifelong enemy.
When she goes to high school and has to choose between arts and sciences, she definitely won't make the same choice as Gong Yao.
Wang Duoyu suddenly said at this moment:
"No, you must choose science!"
"Dad~" Bai Doufu said sweetly.
"I don't want to choose science! No, wait, if Gong Yao chooses humanities, then I'll choose science! Humph!"
At this moment, Wang Yifei on the other end of the phone suddenly interjected:
“You’re probably going to choose humanities, but Gong Yao will definitely choose science. Besides, choosing humanities is pretty good too. My brothers and I are all science students, so it would be best if at least one of us could be a humanities student…”
Bai Doufu immediately bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Impossible, I'm going to choose science. Humph, I'm sure I can get the top score."
Liu Xiaoli: "Then why don't you hurry up and start studying?"
The very next day, "Fast & Furious 3," starring Wang Yifei, was released in the United States, setting a new record for opening weekend theaters.
At this time of year in May, with the long weekend just over, there are virtually no strong competitors, allowing "Fast & Furious 3" to enjoy ample screen time.
With so many cinemas showing the film and IMAX theaters open, moviegoers have more options.
Interestingly, there were still queues at many movie theater ticket counters.
The CIA's special agent team made a special investigation and found that he was actually an ordinary movie fan, not a hired extra.
Bang!
This news surprised and frustrated the CIA agents.
How to do?
It's so difficult to catch counterfeit money syndicates so easily!
how many years?
Although the agents were unwilling, this was the only way things could be.
Unless they can find evidence of cheating in "Fast & Furious 3" and trace the counterfeit money chain, all their efforts will be in vain.
However, the movie theaters didn't gain any credit, but on the other hand, the agents who were specifically monitoring the black market made a profit.
Looking at the global landscape, the black market supply chains involving illicit goods, human organ trafficking, and gambling are all very clear and transparent.
Even in the United States, there is a profession called corpse trading broker.
I can't even imagine!
That night, Wang Yifei attended a party organized by Paramount. As she was walking among various celebrities, she was stopped in her tracks.
"What's up?"
"Beautiful lady, please give me a chance, just five minutes will do. Please allow me to introduce myself first."
The newcomer was a young Chinese man who looked quite handsome.
The other party claimed to be a member of the Yao family in San Francisco, named Yao Jiahong, and currently serving as the general manager of the Los Angeles branch of Fubao Bank in the United States.
Right now, I just want to get to know Wang Yifei and make friends.
The main reason is that Wang Yifei likes to invest, and most of her fans know something about this.
Although fans disdain her fashion sense and love to criticize it, they still highly regard her knowledge and investment skills.
"Oh, I see. Sure, we can chat sometime, but I don't have time right now."
Wang Yifei gave an awkward but polite smile.
She consciously maintains a safe social distance from anyone of unknown origin and does not make any promises lightly.
Her words are actually a polite way of declining the offer.
Having been in Hollywood for some time now, Wang Yifei had certainly heard of the Yao family in San Francisco.
Okay, she does spend a lot of time in Los Angeles and doesn't go to San Francisco often, but San Francisco is a major city in the US with a large Chinese population, and there are still a lot of Chinese people there.
The Yao family wields considerable influence in San Francisco and is one of the shareholders of American Rich Bank.
Fu Bao Bank ranks among the top 30 banks on the US West Coast and second among Chinese banks, making it a very powerful banking institution.
But this has nothing to do with Wang Yifei.
After all, no matter how powerful the Yao family is, it has little to do with her.
Besides, if the Yao family is one of the front companies for Want Want Group in the United States, then Lin Xiaoyi, her aunts Wang Meili and Wang Meihe would definitely have informed her.
Unfortunately, it seems that's not the case.
Upon hearing this, Yao Jiahong's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he did not press the matter further.
The next day, Wang Yifei saw the box office figures for the opening day of "Fast & Furious 3": $395 million.
It's truly remarkable that a film released on a weekday, during a non-peak season, could achieve such high box office numbers.
yeah!
After seeing the box office results, Wang Yifei was overjoyed.
Then she called her father to share the good news. Well, it was morning in Los Angeles, but night in Harbin, and her "Big Fish Brother" was still awake.
Wang Duoyu was not surprised to hear about the box office results.
He didn't pay much attention to this matter.
Just after hanging up, Wang Yifei's phone rang again; it was Yao Jiahong calling.
For some reason, she didn't answer the call, but treated it as a missed call, which is to say, she ignored it.
A few minutes later, she received a text message.
"Ugh, so annoying!"
Yao Jiahong sent her an invitation to play golf.
She didn't like this kind of sport, or rather, she didn't like dating strangers for this kind of sport.
Well, while she's not exactly a homebody, she still prefers staying home to pet her cat or read, and if that doesn't work, she'll go out to see a movie or have some fun. (End of Chapter)
